### Exercises
31+
32+
Once a student can move around the Minecraft environment and craft basic items, they can start to learn basic mining techniques in creative mode. They could also begin practicing survival mode with the difficulty set to Peaceful.
33+
34+
Explain where diamonds are found (see Level 2, Section 3) and see if they can find diamonds. Encourage them to gather other ores while they are searching for diamonds. See who can collect the most ores in a 30-minute timespan.
35+
36+
Be sure to explain what types of pickaxes are required to mine certain ores (e.g. an iron pickaxe is required for diamond, a diamond pickaxe for obsidian).
37+
38+
Explain how to smelt ores into their respective ingots, then what tools, weapons, armor, and other items become available once they have the ingots in their inventory.

This section is pretty straightforward thanks to the great tools at [Miners Need Cool Shoes](http://www.needcoolshoes.com/). Go to needcoolshoes.com and import your skin or go to the gallery and pick a new one to tweak. Then edit that skin using their editing tools! You can download the png file or change your skin right from the site. You can even combine skins by loading multiple skins as layers in the editing tool.

As you can see from the chart, some ores spawn the most at high Y-coordinates. This is because they generate in mountains. Mining by going to mountain biomes and digging up visible ores can be a safer alternative to underground mining.

We've given you a world that has a zombie dungeon located directly below the spawn point. Your task is to find the spawner (dig down carefully to find it) and build a mob grinder like the one described above.
